A special consideration has been conducted on the dependencies of exchange bias and coercivity on rotatable antiferromagnetic anisotropy with respect to the collinear ferromagnetic anisotropy and field-cooling directions in ellipsoidal core/shell nanoparticles. With increasing the angle between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic easy axes, exchange bias field and coercivity both exhibit biaxial symmetries about the ferromagnetic easy and hard axes. Moreover, the variations of the antiferromagnetic anisotropy constant cannot change the trends of these novel behaviors, but only control their occurrences by dominating the coercive field behaviors. This new exchange-biased feature obtained by means of the special nanoparticle shape and the relative angle between anisotropies is of technological importance for maximizing exchange bias, in order to optimize the designs of the involved devices.
► We choose a complex ellipsoidal core/shell nanoparticle model.
► We only rotate the antiferromagnetic anisotropy easy-axis direction.
► Polar plots of exchange bias field and coercivity both exhibit biaxial symmetries.
